MERIDA, YUCATAN, MEXICO, Aug. 16, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2022, sponsored by San Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, will return on Tuesday, November 15 in a regular list and a personal award Ceremonia — the first full gathering of the Latin American gastronomic community since 2019. Previously held in Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Argentina, the awards program will return to Mexico in 2022 with a new home here in Merida in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism of the State of Yucatan.
Chefs, restaurateurs, media and gourmets will gather in the cultural and gastronomic capital of the southeastern region of Mexico for the pinnacle of the year’s culinary calendar to celebrate the richness and diversity of Latin American cuisine. An exclusive program of events organized throughout Mérida will culminate in the awards ceremony on the evening of November 15. Three special awards announcements will precede the live program, including the Latin American Best Female Chef Award on September 20, the Icon Award on October 11 and the American Express One To Watch Award on October 25.
Despite the toll that Covid-19 has taken on the region’s restaurant sector, 50 Best will celebrate more places to eat than ever before with the announcement of an inaugural list of 50 more restaurants ranked 51 to 100 best in America Latin. The list of 51 to 100 will be announced on November 3, throwing a much-deserved spotlight on a greater number of hospitality establishments and the region’s diverse culinary cultures.
“We are very excited to bring together as many people as possible from across Latin America once again in 2022,” said William Drew, Director of Content for Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants. “We look forward to celebrating more restaurants, teams and culinary talent than ever before, as well as experiencing the vibrant city of Merida and exploring the diverse gastronomic region of the Yucatan. At the same time, 50 Best aims to foster collaboration, inclusivity and discovery and help drive positive change in the hospitality sector.”
Michelle Fridman, Yucatan’s Minister of Tourism, called it “an honor” for the state to host the 2022 Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants. “The Yucatan is home to one of the best gastronomy scenes and as we begin our celebration of a year of Yucatan cuisine, we are excited to show the world’s greatest chefs our culinary offering,” she said.
The 50 Best organization’s role in promoting restaurants and showcasing culinary talent remains more important than ever, continuing to support the hospitality sector by inspiring diners to seek exciting gastronomic experiences.
